An iCresset Insight | Leadership Hiring | July 2026 On paper, it was the perfect hire. In 1999, Hewlett-Packard’s board brought in Carly Fiorina, a celebrated AT&T and Lucent executive, the first outsider ever to lead the company, with a resume that read like a case study in operational excellence.
